No sign, no clue, just a quiet alley and your instincts will lead you to Kismet - a secret Hanoi hidden cafe far from the hustle and bustle of the city. What seems like a vintage thrift store at first turns out to be a whole unique layered universe waiting to be explored.

A unique Hanoi hidden cafe full of surprises

Head upstairs and let your curiosity lead the way, because this hidden cafe takes you from surprise to surprise. The cafe space opens up with a freestyle kind of decor - eclectic, artsy, and unexpectedly cohesive. Unique furniture, whimsical decor, quirky wall art, and subtle little details that feel like clues to a story you’re meant to notice. It’s one of those places where you sit for coffee and end up staying longer, just because your eyes keep finding new things to look at.

Step out into a tiny courtyard, then follow the narrow staircase surrounded by leafy greens, and you’ll arrive at a breezy rooftop terrace in the heart of Hanoi. Sunlight, cool tables, plants all around, and even a disco light waiting to come alive after dark. Because why not groove under the stars, right?
